In this article you will find some useful information that will help you to achieve most accurate saliva ovulation test results.
Different ovulation test results during the day.
Cause: Certain factors such as food, alcohol or smoking may affect the analysis of saliva, and show misleading results. The best time to test your saliva is in the morning, before brushing the teeth, eating or drinking. Therefore, as your instruction booklet suggests, we recommend only testing your saliva in the morning when you awake.
Solution: Only test your saliva first thing in the morning. Do not eat or drink anything before the test to achieve most accurate test result.
The picture is out of focus.
Cause: Microscope's diopter lens is not adjusted.
Solution: Gently turn the lens to sharpen and adjust the picture to the desired clarity.
Ovulation microscope window appears to be blank.
Cause: While applying the saliva, the glass has been pressed hard with your finger and consequently your saliva has been pressed out.
Solution: Clean the optic lens and reapply saliva gently to the lens surface, taking care to avoid leaving any air bubbles.
